  • Benchmarking LLMs on Nonogram Solving


    Benchmarking 23 LLMs on Nonogram (Logic Puzzle) Solving PerformanceA benchmark was developed to assess the ability of 23 large language models (LLMs) to solve nonograms, which are grid-based logic puzzles. The evaluation revealed that performance significantly declines as the puzzle size increases from 5×5 to 15×15. Some models resort to generating code for brute-force solutions, while others demonstrate a more human-like reasoning approach by solving puzzles step-by-step. Notably, GPT-5.2 leads the performance leaderboard, and the entire benchmark is open source, allowing for future testing as new models are released. Understanding how LLMs approach problem-solving in logic puzzles can provide insights into their reasoning capabilities and potential applications.
